  • The RNA Therapeutics Supply Chain: A Platform of Relationships

    Conversations digging into RNA-specific sourcing considerations have been few and far between. Enter Sanofi's Greg Troiano. Together, we delved into the nuances, challenges, and opportunities for growth that currently exist within the mRNA drug substance and drug product (i.e., mRNA-LNP) raw material sourcing worlds.

  • “Holy T7 Polymerase, Batman!”: R&D Considerations For More Awe-Inspiring xRNA

    It goes without saying we have some pretty ambitious therapeutic goals for linear mRNA and next-gen saRNA and circRNA. However, as my conversation with Koeris explored, we still have a lot of scientific and technical work/innovation ahead of us to make our RNA products “stronger” (in more ways than one).

  • Multidisciplinary mRNA: What Can We Learn From Other CGTs?

    Overall, there are four high-level best practices/mindsets I proposed during a recent presentation that I believe will be crucial for us to bring some talented RNA therapeutic role models to the forefront. But there is one best practice that I think is worth emphasizing more than the others.

  • Beyond The Gold Standard(s): Modernizing Oligonucleotide Synthesis

    A few weeks ago, I had the chance to sit down with OPT Congress speaker Phil Baran, Richard Lerner Chair Professor, Department of Chemistry, Scripps Research. Baran was slated to (and did) present a keynote on the innovations shaping the next generation of oligo synthesis. Here, I share the biggest takeaways I had from our conversation, touching on how he sees the science of oligo chemistry and manufacturing advancing in the near and far future. 

  • Moderna & The Global mRNA Supply Chain: Regulatory Lessons Learned

    One of the most important reminders I took away from Moderna’s experiences ushering its mRNA vaccine onto the global market is that a commercial manufacturing process must also be accompanied by a commercially ready supply chain. Though sufficient physical volumes of each raw material and a redundant supplier network are necessities, physical scale is not the only “CQA” for which we must account when commercializing our supply chain. 

  • Cultivating A Thriving mRNA Ecosystem: Key Initiatives & Future Directions

    Overall, I felt that the following initiatives/talking points were demonstrative of the types of creativity and symbiosis that we will need much more of in the near and long-term to foster a healthy and fruitful RNA ecosystem.

In this opening Advancing RNA Live clip, NanoVation Therapeutics’ Dominik Witzigmann and Stealth Co’s John Zuris share the scientific advancements they’ve been watching most keenly in the LNP space, as well as some of the evolutions they’re seeing in the overall quality of our RNA-LNP products.

Three LNP experts share their thoughts on the incremental advancements they’d like to see the RNA-LNP space make in the next few years.

Learn more about CustomBiotech's mRNA raw materials pipeline and strict quality criteria that are designed to support the success of our customers’ manufacturing scale-up and regulatory drug approval.

In this Bioprocess Online Live panel, we discuss the current state of the mRNA supply chain for critical raw materials and manufacturing supplies and where pain points still exist.
